Hi Michael,
   
  What about wire corrosion buildup at your outside connectors?  Might be worth trimming your wires to get a fresh connection. -  Tom

  Hi Chris:

Well, again today my rates are low for the Arietids. The only thing
is yesterday it picked up a bit with 88 in the afternoon. But compared with
last year this year is low. Last month I had lots from the Eta Aquarids and
did well. I have no idea why this month is poor, that is why I figured 
Sporadic E was a cause. The static is variable sounding ;;; like a old 
type steam train > "chooo-chooo" to being "crackly" sounding and only 
the stronger meteors are heard.

I checked my antenna connections..ok..my radio...ok...frequency 
same..working on CW mode. So, I'm at a loss as to what happened.
